NYC Beauty Haul + Giveaway [CLOSED]

Hello lovely people! I'm finally coming around to posting my NYC cosmetics haul. It's only taken me a week--oops. Ha ha. So what I'm going to do is group up my purchases by store. What you see in each photo was purchased from one store. I will include the prices and names of the stores I went to.

During this trip, I practically went on an Asian cosmetics rage and then I went to Inglot and MAC.  Ha ha. I really didn't get much but I feel like I spent quite a bit, does anyone ever feel like that? I know I can't be the only one. 

I had such a great time in NYC and shopping definitely made it much more of a "productive" trip. I do it all for you guys. :P Let's get started!

Kose Sekkisei Emulsion, 4.7fl oz, $50.00; DollyWink False Lashes in No. 2, two pairs, $20.00
Everyday Beauty Supply Store in Chinatown NYC

 The Kose Sekkisei Emulsion has been a product in my Amazon cart for the longest time! I splurged and decided to purchase it in NYC, granted it's $12 cheaper on Amazon but I just couldn't contain myself. It's known to be extremely popular and work really well. A lot of people on MakeUpAlley noted that it broke them out and didn't moisture as much as they would have liked. You have to remember to moisturize after using an emulsion because it's definitely not moisturizing enough on its own. I'm crossing my fingers that this doesn't break me out. I've used it twice so far and it's doing quite well. 

The DollyWink lashes are to die for! They're so freakin' gorgeous and I totally got ripped off. I bought them for $20, but online they're like $17. I purchased this, went to another beauty store and found them for $17! Unfortunately not many Asian stores do refunds so I was out of luck. ): These are probably the second most expensive lashes I've purchased, per pair. It comes out to $10/pair of lashes, a bit cheaper than House of Lashes' premium collection. I'm so excited to use these! They definitely need to be clipped.

Shiseido Perfect Whip Foam Cleanser, $9.99
Han Reum Supermarket in K-town NYC

 I was so excited to find this product in Koreatown! It's another well known and favorited Japanese skin care item. I think the main thing about this product is that it foams up reallyyyy well. I read some reviews and they judged this cleanser based off of its ability to take off make-up, but I always remove make-up with cleansing oil, so I'm not too worried about that. You can definitely get this cheaper elsewhere, so I don't recommend getting it in K-town.

Tonymoly BCDation SPF 30 P++ in No. 2, $30.00; Tonymoly Pureness 100 Placenta Mask Sheet (x2), $4.00
Tonymoly Intense Care Snail Hydro-Gel Mask, $8.00; Tonymoly My Little Pet Wrinkle Line Patch, $4.00
Tonymoly Delight Mono Shadow in Shimmer 20, $5.00; Tonymoly I'm Real Makgeolli Mask Sheet (x2), $6.00
Tonymoly Store in K-Town NYC

 I had to make a stop at Tonymoly! I looked on Google Maps to find the Han Reum Supermarket and The Face Shop but ended up finding Tonymoly. I was sooo excited to find this shop. They opened not too long ago, I think this past summer, but unfortunately I missed all the great promotions. On the bright side, I was able to snag a bunch of products. I had a sample of the BCDation and decided to purchase one. I will be writing a review about it soon so stay tuned! I also went ahead and purchased several sheet masks. I'm looking forward to using the My Little Pet mask for my laugh lines! (: 

I also want to note that MemeBox is shipping out their Tonymoly box in 4 days! I ordered one so when I went to the Tonymoly shop, I decided not to buy too much in case I get doubles.

Inglot Cosmetics Freedom System Eye Shadow in No. 15, $7.00; Inglot Cosmetics Freedom System Eye Shadow in No. 607, $7.00; Inglot Cosmetics Freedom System Palette 2 Square, $8.00
Inglot Cosmetics Store in Times Square NYC

 In my planning for the NYC trip, I had to do some research on NYC exclusive shops. Lo' and behold, Inglot has some stores in NYC so I had to go! I was searching for other brands like MakeupGeek and such but with no luck. I've heard amazing things about Inglot's shadows so I naturally had to purchase some. I wanted to limit my purchases so I settled on two shadows that stuck out to me the most. I have already created a look with this palette and the Tonymoly shadow, so look for that soon. (:

MAC Cosmetics Pro Longwear Concealor in NC20, $20.00
MAC Store Times Square in NYC

 I ran into the MAC store at Times Square, in a rush, and rushed out with a concealor. I actually chose the wrong one! Oh no! I meant to grab the Studio Finish concealor but that didn't happen. Ha ha. So this will be exchanged. I'm actually not fond of liquid concealors... At all. Lol. So this was a fail on my part. :P 

So now that I'm done talking about the haul, I wanted to introduce the giveaway! Yayyy! I've carefully selected items from my beauty haul (these aren't pictured above) that would be useful to you, now that the cold weather is approaching us, and because I want to prepare us all for dry skin (no matter how far from dry your skin gets, ha ha). These products are completely new to me and would love to hear your thoughts about them once received. (: Along with that I have selected some cosmetic items to enhance your eyes. All of the eye cosmetics are items I've tried and loved and wanted to share with you all.

According to Amazon the masks include: Red Wine (Firming), Bird Nest (Skin Purifying), Tea Tree (Skin Soothing), Black Pearl (Brightening), Royal Jelly (Nutrition), Hyaluronic Acid (Moisture), Green Apple (Pore).
Tonymoly Red Cheeks Girls Patch: At first I thought this item was a blush-infusing product, only to find out it's to reduce the redness in cheeks. If you've ever had wind burns, they hurt and these would be great for that, or even if you just have rosy cheeks and would like to cool them down a bit.
